I like the Dart blocks cuz they'll take larger bores as well. Some of them will take .185" overbores and still have .250" wall thickness. They also offer iron blocks in the newer compressed graphite iron.

The Boss is a nice block and it's relatively inexpensive in the aftermarker block area, but there are 2 things to think about:
1) Maximum recommended stroke is 3.400"
2) Main caps are ductile iron
The Dart blocks can accommodate larger stokes and have billet steel main caps, they are however more expensive. So it will come down to what your needs are.

When it is all said and done, it is a great block, at a great price, But I personally wouldn't stroke it more than 347.

about there... wasn't that when they had their dizzys in the back of the engine?
*edit* sorry, my bad, I was thinking of the old school t-bird engines with it on the back, the FE's had fronts...
